Swan Song

On our way

To the glacier

Star-lit sky

And mist-covered wind

When dawn arrives

To paint the mountains

The sun will reign

And the melt will begin

Miles of ice

Once unyielding

Surrender into a

Sea of unrest

The earth below

Drowns in sorrow

Unprepared for

The sudden distress

Gone is the world I’ve relied on

It has shed its sweet lullaby for a swan song

Raging fires

Sweep the landscape

Devouring all that dare lie

In their path

The fog consumes

Veils the sunset

Sets the stage

For a cold aftermath

Gone is the world I’ve relied on

It has shed its sweet lullaby for a swan song

Migration

Up the ocean

Unaware of

How far they may roam

And someday soon

We will follow

Leave the familiar

For places unknown
